What constitutes a minimal useful exit policy? Mine is curently

reject 0.0.0.0/8:*
reject 169.254.0.0/16:*
reject 127.0.0.0/8:*
reject 192.168.0.0/16:*
reject 10.0.0.0/8:*
reject 172.16.0.0/12:*
reject 78.46.119.2:*
accept *:22
accept *:443
accept *:465
accept *:563
accept *:992-995
reject *:*

which doesn't give me any complaints, but also no exit
flag. On the other hand I would love to unthrottle it
(this is a dual-core Atom, but on 1 GBit line) as
long as someone pays for the extra traffic (this is 
6.9 EUR/TByte). 

I think there are several people in my position. So

a) what minimal exit policy would qualify us for applying for funding?

b) when and who is the contact? Should I just talk to Zwiebelfreunde e.V.?

Thanks.
